Chapter VII Choice
The soldiers of the garrison regiment are all wearing military uniforms, but the people in Tangcheng and Chongqing Station are all dressed as ordinary people, no one is wearing the iconic Zhongshan suit of Chongqing Station, and no one shows their weapons, which gives everyone in the horse team an illusion that the people of the garrison regiment are in charge. Seeing that Platoon Commander Zhu rejected the oceans he handed out, Humpty Dumpty thought that Platoon Commander Zhu was too little, so he smiled and took out two small yellow croaker gold bars and stuffed them into Platoon Leader Zhu's hands.
Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to the pull between Platoon Commander Zhu and the Humpty Dumpty, but carefully looked at the people in the horse team who were guarding their respective pack horses, and few of the people in the horse gang were good people. Seeing Tang Cheng looking at the package on horseback and them, the pigtailed woman that Tang Cheng had seen in the telescope before had already come down from the horse, and when Tang Cheng looked at the package, the pigtailed woman also stared at Tang Cheng with eyes.
Compared with the soldiers with rifles in the garrison regiment, Tang Cheng in civilian clothes looked very ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely at Tang Cheng, you can find that Tang Cheng is the tallest here, and among the people who rushed onto the road, including the platoon commander of the garrison regiment, many people were paying attention to Tang Cheng's reaction. Tang Cheng also found that the pigtailed woman was looking at him, but he didn't pay attention to the other party, in this case, not talking can put more pressure on the other party.
"Brother, there are a total of 42 pack horses, and the oilcloth package on the horseback looks not small, if it is all smoke, the number is not small." Kuroko, who counted the number of pack horses, returned to Tang Cheng's side, and while whispering to Tang Cheng, a pair of eyes did not forget to be wary of the fierce men in the horse team. A team of 42 pack horses, this scale is not small, Tang Cheng narrowed his eyes, and secretly made a gesture with his right hand behind his back.
Tang Cheng's gesture was really seen by the search team members standing behind him, and someone immediately went to bite the ear of the Zhu platoon commander of the garrison regiment. "Take them all away, whoever dares to move will shoot them directly." Platoon Commander Zhu pushed away the Humpty Dumpty man who tried to stuff him with money, his face changed drastically, he pulled out his pistol from the holster on his waist, and fired two shots at the sky above his head.
"Don't move, if you're moving, I'll kill you." Humpty Dumpty, who was pushed away by Platoon Commander Zhu, wanted to come up and lobby, but he was directly pressed to the ground by the soldiers under Platoon Commander Zhu, and a gun barrel was put on his head. The number of people on Tang Cheng's side was about the same as the number of the other party, but after all, they had the advantage of taking the lead, and the people of the horse gang didn't have time to copy the guy, and they were already being put on top by the people of the garrison regiment with guns.
The pigtailed woman was also pointed at a rifle, but she didn't say a word, just glanced at Tang Cheng, and then let the soldiers of the garrison come forward and take off the shell gun in the holster. In the case of equal numbers, being pointed at gunpoint, the horse gang has lost the opportunity to fight back, seeing that the pigtailed woman did not resist, the others had to hold back the anger in their hearts, and watched as the soldiers of the garrison stepped forward and took their weapons.
"Take them all!" The platoon commander Zhu of the garrison regiment didn't seem to expect things to go so smoothly, and after his soldiers collected all the weapons of the Ma Gang, he quietly looked at Tang Cheng, and then waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to escort all the Ma Gang to the labor camp outside the city. The caravan had not resisted, but when they saw the soldiers of the garrison holding rifles to drive them away from the pack horses, some people shouted and resisted.
The horse gang that carried a gun on his back and traveled north and south to beg for a living, naturally he could not be a good person, seeing these soldiers come to drive themselves and pack horses, this is obviously for the tobacco and soil transported on horseback. If they lose this batch of tobacco, they will have to compensate the owner for the loss, so no matter what, the Mabang can't watch the tobacco and soil being taken away, and the conflict is about to break out.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Three gunshots rang out in a row on the chaotic avenue, and it was still Platoon Commander Zhu who shot at him, but the person who gave the order to shoot was Tang Cheng with a cold face. From the moment he rushed to the avenue, Tang Cheng had not spoken or expressed his position, not because he wanted to stay out of the matter, but because he wanted to see the performance and ability of the novices in the search team. Seeing that the conflict was about to break out at this moment, Tang Cheng finally couldn't be a bystander anymore, and immediately signaled Platoon Commander Zhu to shoot a warning.
"I'll count three, and after three, if anyone disobeys the order, I'll want him to die here." Tang Cheng, who had unbuttoned his shirt, pulled out his pistol from the holster under his armpit and raised his left hand high, in the midst of the ignorant gaze and shouts of the caravan. Accompanied by the clear sound of the sunspot, Tang Cheng, who had a firm face, bent the first finger, and then the second while looking around at the people in front of him.
Seeing that the third heel finger of Tang Cheng's left hand was about to bend down, the pistol in Tang Cheng's right hand was slowly flattened, and the first person to be pointed at by Tang Cheng with a pistol was the pock-faced man who was the loudest in the horse gang. From the moment he took out his pistol and raised his left hand high, Tang Cheng didn't say a word, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, but such an indifferent expression made the hearts of the Ma Gang secretly beat wildly.
The pock-faced man who was pointed at by Tang Cheng with a pistol was flustered for no reason, seeing that Tang Cheng's raised left hand was about to bend the third finger, the pock-faced man who was extremely flustered and his eyelids were jumping in his heart finally failed to hold on, and then quickly moved to the side of the road with his head down. With the first example of subduing softly, the next thing was easy to do, and all the people in the horse gang who were pointed at by Tang Cheng with a pistol with a cold face chose to give up their futile resistance.
The last one to be pointed at by Tang Cheng with a pistol was the pigtailed woman, and when he got closer, Tang Cheng realized that the pigtailed woman did look young, but being young and beautiful did not mean that Tang Cheng had the advantage of looking at it differently. "You are a woman, I don't bully you, I know you are not convinced, I will give you two choices now." The pigtailed woman who was pointed at by Tang Cheng with a pistol was very unconvinced, and she deliberately stood in place, wanting to know if this young man who pointed a pistol at her had the courage to shoot, but she didn't want Tang Cheng to care about her youth and beauty at all.
"The first choice, you and your people obediently follow, everyone cooperates, so it will be relatively easy. The second option is that you continue to stand still, but I can give you a chance to challenge me. If you win against me, I will not only let your horse team go, but in the future, when you go in and out of Chongqing, I will help you without violating your principles. But if you challenge me and lose, not only will I confiscate the batch of tobacco and soil you transported this time, but your horse gang will also serve me in the future. ”
When Tang Cheng said this, all the people in the Ma Gang, including the pigtailed woman, shouted and scolded almost at the same time, mixed with Yunnan dialect, but they failed to make Tang Cheng's expression change in the slightest. "In other words, if you lose the challenge, you will have to do things for me in the future. I hire you to do things and pay you salaries, but I can only decide what kind of goods you will transport in the future, do you understand? When Tang Cheng said the last rhetorical question, he deliberately raised his eyebrows, deliberately stimulating the pigtailed woman.
"I'm going to compete with you in marksmanship!" originally thought that the pigtailed woman would not be able to fight, but Tang Cheng didn't expect that his voice would fall, and the pigtailed woman with anger in her eyes couldn't wait to respond to the battle, and she still had to test her marksmanship with herself. Hearing that the other party was going to test his marksmanship with himself, Tang Cheng couldn't help but squint and laughed, and the sunspot standing next to him grinned even more, because among the people present, only the sunspot knew Tang Cheng's marksmanship best.
Seeing Tang Cheng and Kuroko laughing out loud one after another, the pigtailed woman who was stimulated by the anger in her heart knew that the situation was not good, but the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to change it at this moment, so she had to wait for Tang Cheng's reply. "You're a woman, so, I don't bully you! You watch me fight once, and if you can do it the same way I do, I'll count you as you win! Tang Cheng deliberately stimulated the other party, but it was just a temporary idea in his heart, and he didn't want to use this to humiliate the other party.
After being whispered by Tang Cheng, Kuroko immediately led several members of the search team and quickly planted a few rows of wooden sticks and branches in the field by the roadside as targets. Tang Cheng also borrowed Platoon Commander Zhu's shell gun, attached the wooden gun box to the handle of the shell gun, and Tang Cheng connected the shell gun to the self-made three-point gun belt and hung it in front of him. The M1911 pistol that was used to threaten the people of the Ma Gang just now was also fixed in the quick-draw holster on his waist at the moment, and Tang Cheng, who seemed to be relaxed, was ready to shoot at any time.
None of the people present, including those in the garrison regiment, had ever seen the preparation for firing with a three-point gun strap and a weapon hanging from their chest. So when Tang Cheng stood on the side of the road with his feet apart and seemed to be relaxed, everyone, including the pigtailed woman, looked at Tang Cheng without blinking. "Let's go!" The sunspot who raised his right arm shouted loudly, and Tang Cheng, who had been standing on the side of the road with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly, and his upright body instantly bent over and held his chest.
At the same time that Tang Cheng's left foot was slightly forward, the barge gun hanging from the three-point gun belt on his chest had already been lifted by Tang Chengping. "Smack! Syllable! Smack..."The barge gun connected to the wooden gun box was lifted by Tang Cheng, and the crisp and rapid gunfire rang out continuously, and before everyone could react, the 10 bullets in the magazine were all shot out by Tang Cheng in an instant. Tang Cheng's shooting speed was very fast, and his way of shooting with his chest and back against his cheeks was something that everyone present had never seen. Before all of them could react, the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand had already run out of bullets, and the gun was empty.
